Sat, 31 Aug 2019 04:58:42 GMTSo, this is my take on Drift in Modern. I messed around with a lot of different builds and a lot of different color combinations. This isn't final or definitive yet by any means, but it does feel like the list with the most potential. Basically combine the new cycling and new snow cards together for a bunch of the winnings.

Sideboard
this is a work in progress, but I am liking 3-4x Rebuild here now that it's legal in Modern.

The mana base works really good at providing you whatever colors you need. The deck has 18 Snow cards total, but no way to control what's on top of the library, otherwise I could definitely see a singleton Scrying Sheets in here. Biggest weaknesses so far are a lack of great disruption, lack of a quick clock, and very limited ability to interact with manlands. Or other lands.

So basically you beat the tar out of fair decks, and lose to unfair decks that aren't based around creatures. Tron also owns this, hard. Censor is pretty easily the weakest spell in the deck right now. Rhino is an incredible card, but doesn't really feel like it does enough here, despite being lifegain, reach, and a huge clock.

As always, suggestions and ideas are appreciated.

EDIT:

I've come to the conclusion that black is currently unnecessary and going straight Bant colors would provide more utility and better protection in the form of 3feri and counterspells. This is where I'm at for now.

Spells - 18
4x Farseek (it's entirely possible this should be Edge of Autumn, but for now I like being able to fetch cycling duals with it)
2x Life from the Loam
3x Force of Negation
4x Censor
4x Supreme Verdict
